XP2600+... T-Bred Or Barton?

[ElectroBlaster]

I have an xp2600+ here that a mate sent me, got it this morning in the post and I havent had chance to try it out yet but im confused as he said it was a barton but im not so sure.

The codes are as follows:

AXDA2600DKV3D
AIXIB0331VPMW

The core is smaller compared to my barton 2800 and has one less resistor, the chip is green (dunno if that means anything)
I did a google and lots of info turns up saying its a T-Bred B. Also found some stuff about remarked cpu's so I did a visual check and it looks genuine
Anyone know exactly whats correct?
TIA

That says it isn't a barton, as does this:

Check how much l2 cache it has, anything like cpu-z, wcpuid, or everest will tell you. Possibly even in your bios on an information page.

tbred - 256k l2 cache
barton - 512k l2 cache

Also semprons were introduced alongside the barton cores with 256k l2, so they were really just tbred cores.

Ive had them in the past i always thought green was tb's and brown bartons, the 3200 barton i got sitting in a draw is brown anyway.

I shall get this thing installed, its the only real 100% way to know for sure
im going to do this tomorrow as I cba to mess around now
Im just annoyed with my mate as he insisted it was a barton... :|
Also my barton 2800 is brown, but I havent seen that cpu naked since late 2004 as I fitted that into my shuttle and havent fiddled with it since lol
Thanx for the help guys

If you notice in those part number lists on Wiki it appears that the cache codes are the same for Athlon XPs as they are Athlon 64s, so your CPU with a number of 3, must have 256KB and so can't be a Barton. The part code is also listed as a Thoroughbred: AXDA2600DKV3C.

Bartons are: AXDA2600DKV4D and AXDA2600DKV4C (4 for 512KB).

yea bartons are both green and brown. i picked up a couple of xp3200 cpus yesterday at the computer fair for £15 a cpu. hehe guess they are trying to get rid of all their old stock.
xp3200 is still a very good cpu. it does have some muscle behind it.

WOW thats cheap, sold a 3000+ for 50 quid or thereabouts a few week ago! lol. Yea i've had Brown and Green Bartons/Thorntons, Brown and Green Tbreds etc.. theres no special colour.

£15 for a 3200? very nice price indeed! seen them go for £90 recently
